[QUOTE="klmno, post: 385975, member: 3699"] Any of them I have checked require the same as the state DOE except this jurisdiction, but admittedly, I haven't looked at a lot of them. It's confusing though because the state changed requirements a year or two ago but the requirements in effect when a student started 9th grade is supposed to be the requirements he/she goes by. I can't tell from a website what was required for a specific year for a given sd so I'll just have to call and ask. Adding to the confusion is that some sd's give credit for semester courses passed but some don't. Some sd's have 7 classes per day in high school; some have eight. difficult child really got messed up spending the majority of 9th grade in a sd that gave 8 classes and semester credit but then transferring to a sd that gave 7 classes and wouldn't acknoedge or accept his semester credit, then being put in detention right at the last grading period where they didn't offer some of the cclasses so he was given an F- he really should have been given an incomplete. But that's not all that important- maybe incompletes get turned into F's at the last grading period.l But where he is now, giving him 3 core classes and the rest stuff like commercial cleaning when they have 8 class periods is just not going to cut it. They didn't even look at his record or IEP first. So here will be three weeks down the tubes. Then, he'll be coming to a sd that offers 4 classes each semester but they get 1 full credit for each at the end of the semester because of the increased amount of instructional time. IOW, they get a year's worth of the class in one semester. This allows 8 credits per year. If I can get the current sd to give difficult child classes that other sd's will actually acknowledge as valid high school courses and this sd only requires 2 more credits than everyone else, instead of 4, he'll still be able to graduate on time if he passes everything. What's really annnoying is that this sd he'll be coming to, the one that requires additional credits- the additional credits are in electives (any elective) not the core type academics. So a kid could have to stay in high school an additional year if they transfer during high school to take electives in order to graduate. I want this boy ready to graduate when he's 18yo, not having to stay home with another year of me dealing with a sd! Or him quitting because he feels like he got shafted thru all this. [/QUOTE]
